Paperless project produced with PDF Revu
|
Using Bluebeam PDF Revu, construction management firm William A. Berry & Son of Danvers, Mass., the Chicago office of architect Perkins+Will, and their subcontractors electronically reviewed and redlined 42,000 pages of construction documents using Bluebeam PDF Revu for the Overlook Center in Waltham, Mass., home of the New England office of Adobe Systems. By going paperless the team reduced the $44.7 million, 107,000-sf project's carbon footprint by 1,557 lb. of CO2. The project is applying for a LEED Innovation & Design Credit from the U.S. Green Building Council.
